Do I seek to please men?

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Gal.1:10-12

To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Gal.1: 16

It amazes me how still to this day man believes that the gospel can only be preached by and through the certification, permission, grace and instruction of men. It is by this concept that the perpetuation of longstanding deceptions persists. It is by the grace of our Creator and through revelations of Christ Jesus that this concept will come to an abrupt end.
